Alina Habba says ousted veterans may not be "fit to have a job at this moment"

Counselor to the president Alina Habba on Tuesday said veterans who were let go from their federal jobs "perhaps" are "not fit to have a job at this moment or are not willing to come to work." 

Habba, who served as President Trump's personal attorney during his court cases and now works as a top adviser in the White House, made the comments during an exchange with reporters on the White House lawn Tuesday morning. 

A reporter pointed out that some Democrats are bringing ousted federal workers to the president's joint address to Congress Tuesday night, including veterans who were let go from their jobs. The reporter asked if Mr. Trump is considering what the administration can do to help those veterans salvage their lives.
